Marinian Embassy program:
On behalf of Greater Marine, we, the foreign department are delighted to open an embassy program, with the purpose of creating long-lasting, prosperous relations with all nations who wish to apply. We are from now on accepting embassy applications, and once an application has been accepted, it shall become sovereign soil of the applicant country. Greater Marine will not accept applications from any country which displays extreme authoritarian or aggressive tendencies, however, exemptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis. We look forward to establishing relations, and to a new age of international cooperation.
Terms of diplomatic arrangements:
Foreign embassies must:
Not have more than 75 staff in total.
Not contain more than 2 weapons per member of security personnel.
Not contain military equipment of any kind.
Foreign embassy staff must:
Abide by Marinian law when outside the embassy.
Declare all items brought into the country.
Behave with respect to Greater Marine and its people.
All ambassadors are granted diplomatic immunity, meaning that foreign ambassadors cannot be arrested, prosecuted, tried or sentenced for crimes conducted in Greater Marine. Embassies are considered sovereign soil of the nation who owns them, and therefore are not subject to Marinian law.
Marinian foreign relations
Greater Marine bases foreign relationships on mutual trust and cooperation, and for that reason, diplomatic channels are essential, for the mutual benefit of all nations involve. We expect that nations who sign up for an embassy respect the guidelines stated here, and if that fails, communicate directly to the foreign department to explain any dispute. We do not accept aggression, slavery, or tyranny, and such nations, whilst not barred from diplomatic relations, should not use diplomatic channels attempt to coerce Greater Marine to accept their worldview.
If we accept, we promise to respect the applicant's intentions and desires, and we wish to start peaceful, long lasting, mutual cooperation with all interested states. We shall stick by the terms of the application, and look forward to welcoming foreign ambassadors and embassies to our nation.
--Christine Simon, Minister of Foreign Affairs
